RE: Compilation of rule change proposals for cartographic materials

DATE: May 22, 2001

At the JSC meeting in early April of 2001, JSC requested:

a. a clean-copy compilation of rule change proposals for cartographic materials, to be presented to CC:DA at the ALA Annual 2001 meetings; and b. a clean-copy version of Chapter 3 with the rule change proposals interpolated; to be prepared after the CC:DA decision on the clean-copy compilation (a. above), and transmitted to the ALA representative to JSC one month prior to the autumn JSC meeting.

Following this cover memo is the clean-copy compilation of rule change proposals. These proposals are composed of:

a. proposals presented, and accepted by JSC, at the JSC meeting in September of 2000, in London; and b. proposals presented at the JSC meeting in April of 2001, with changes requested by ACOC, CCC, and LC incorporated into the proposals; BL was unfortunately unable to attend the April meeting, and noted that while it did not expect to have any problems with any of the rule changes, it did need more time to canvass its map-cataloging community. The day prior to the first day of the JSC meeting, we had the great good fortune to have a meeting composed of Velma Parker (National Archives of Canada) Elizabeth Mangan, Barbara Story, and me so that we could work over the ACOC, CCC, and LC responses and incorporate those responses into the document that was presented at the JSC meeting on April 3.

For the compilation of rule change proposals, following the JSC April meeting I incorporated all the changes to the rule proposals discussed at that meeting and sent out that document for comment to the members of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Committee for Cartographic Materials (AACCM). After I made the corrections they noted, I incorporated the rule change proposals from the September 2000 JSC meeting, and sent that document out for comment to the group and to MAGERT's Cataloging and Classification Committee. I then made the corrections they noted on that document.

A few words here about the clean-copy version of Chapter 3. Bruce Johnson (LC) speedily provided a digital file of the current Chapter 3, and John Attig just as speedily has gone to work on getting the file in the form he needs to mount it on the CC:DA Web site.

List of rule proposals

Itemized below are the proposals with JSC actions, dates of actions, and changes made in the April 2001 meeting. Reasons for inclusion are given for those rules that are included because of, e.g., changes to examples required by other rule changes proposals. Generally speaking, correction of typos and changes made to match AACR style are not listed. Changes made after the April JSC meetings (due to comments by members of AACCCM and MAGERT CCC) are given at the end of each, and start with the word, "NOTE."

Not included in this package are rule changes that will be necessary in other rules in Chapter 3 (e.g., the SMD change from "relief model" to "model" will require changes in some rules not herein included) and rule change proposals that JSC has in process. The former will be included in the clean copy of Chapter 3, which MAGERT will work on following ALA Annual 2001, to be ready for JSC's autumn 2001 meeting; the other changes will be incorporated by JSC by late summer of 2001.

3.0A1: accepted as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present; 4/2001 3.1B3: accepted but with LC wording (4JSC/ALA/31/LC response), 9/2000 3.1F2: rule to be deleted, as proposed in ALA proposal, 9/2000 3.3: accepted as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present, with minor changes having to do with 1999 Amendments; 4/2001 3.3A1: accepted as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present; 4/2001. NOTE: Instruction on spacing for format deleted, since format is not given in the appropriate rule. 3.3A3: accepted as in ALA proposal with addition of one example from ACOC by those JSC members present; 4/2001. 3.3B1: accepted as in ALA proposal, with some rearrangement, by those JSC members present; 4/2001 3.3B4: current 3.3B4 and 3.3B5 deleted and merged into a single rule dealing with multiple scales, which was accepted as in ALA proposal, with minor ALA style changes, by those JSC members present; 4/2001. NOTE: change proposed after the JSC meeting – 3.3B4 a., last sentence: If there is only a collective title, give the largest scale first. 3.3B5, 3.3B6, 3.3B7: considerable change in current 3.3B5 through 3.3B8; accepted (some shifting around) mainly as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present; 4/2001. NOTE: Change in SMD means that … sentence should start, "In describing a model, (e.g., relief model) [etc.]" 3.3C2: accepted as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present, and as a result 3.5B8 gains an example about ellipsoid; 4/2001 3.3D1: accepted by those JSC members present, after incorporation of ACOC and CCC requests for changes; 4/2001. NOTE: In paragraph 7, the sentence should be: "Polygons must have non- intersecting boundaries." 3.3E and 3.3E1: accepted as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present; 4/2001 3.3F and 3.3F1: accepted as in ALA proposal by those JSC members present, after incorporation of additional examples and deletion of "object type"; 4/2001.

3.0A1. The rules in this chapter cover the description of cartographic materials of all kinds. Cartographic materials include all materials that represent the whole or part of the earth or any celestial body. These include two- and three-dimensional maps and plans (including maps of imaginary places); aeronautical, nautical, and celestial charts; atlases; globes; block diagrams; sections; aerial photographs with a cartographic purpose; bird’s-eye views (map views); etc. They do not cover in detail the description of early or manuscript cartographic materials, though the use of an additional term in the physical description (see 3.5B) and/or the use of the specific instructions in chapter 4 will furnish a sufficiently detailed description for the general library catalogue. For items falling within the scope of other chapters but presenting cartographic information (e.g., some wall charts, some playing cards), consult the rules in this chapter in conjunction with those of the chapter appropriate to the item.

3.1B3. If the chief source of information bears more than one title, choose the title proper as instructed in 1.1B8 if the titles are in two or more languages or scripts. Record the other titles as parallel titles. If both or all of the titles are in the same language and script, choose the title proper on the basis of the sequence or layout of the titles. If these are insufficient to enable the choice to be made or are ambiguous, choose the most comprehensive title. Record the other titles in a note if considered to be important (see 3.7B4). Give the source of the title proper in a note (see 3.7B3) if considered to be important.

DELETE RULE

3.1F2. Add a word or short phrase to the statement of responsibility if the relationship between the title and the person(s) or body (bodies) named in the statement is not clear. Maps of the Mid-west [GMD] / [edited by] D.M. Bagley
